Two Area Nurses Compete In State Hope Program

Laura Szymanski of Bethlehem and Barbara Haupt of Allentown represented the Lehigh Valley Unit of the American Cancer Society at the annual State Nurseof Hope Program last month.

Szymanski and Haupt were two of 53 Unit Nurses of Hope participating in the state selection held at the Embers Convention Center in Carlisle. This year's program carried a baseball theme which helped the society celebrate its 75th anniversary.

The Nurse of Hope selection program is part of the American Cancer Society's Volunteer Education Meeting that drew more than 300 Pennsylvania volunteers this year.
